It was a very charitable organization, and it made a big difference that my advocacy from the beginning was concrete and strong enough to bring to the international community,&quot; she said.</p><p>Bilasano said that her dedication to her cause was something that resonated with the judges, adding, &quot;They really saw the commitment I had during the entire process, and that’s something they applauded me for, and I’m always going to be proud of.&quot;</p><p>She also highlighted the pageant’s strict adherence to discipline, noting how the contestants were expected to behave with grace and follow the rules.</p><p>&quot;During the entire journey, they made sure we behaved like queens. We always had to follow the schedule and instructions, and I abided by that. I think it’s very similar to how Filipino pageants are hosted,&quot; she said.</p><p>Bilasano garnered several major awards, including Best in Swimsuit, Best in Evening Gown, People’s Choice, and Best in National Costume.</p><p>She said that despite her success in winning these accolades, she never felt complacent.</p><p>&quot;I always remember what my mentors tell me—that it&#x27;s just an award; it’s not the entirety of the competition. You may win certain awards, but that doesn’t mean you win the crown. When I got the awards, it just motivated me to seal the whole deal. I made sure I delivered from start to finish.&quot;</p><p>Bilasano is set to embark on an international tour with the Face of Beauty organization, where she will serve as both an ambassador and spokesperson for various charitable causes.</p><p>&quot;Aside from being a spokesperson or ambassador, I also get to be a part of charities. The Face of Beauty is a very big organization that focuses on charities, and they have many organizations partnered worldwide,&quot; she shared.</p><p>One of the key highlights of her upcoming commitments is a trip to Fiji in December, where she will participate in efforts aimed at delivering &quot;new standards of beauty.&quot;</p>
